The National Audit Office (Malta) hosts another successful international event

The National Audit Office has successfully hosted another successful event in Malta, this time it being the Second Contact Committee Activity on Migration.  This Meeting focused on the extremely topical and relevant subject ‘Migration as an Opportunity: Supporting Europe’s Economic and Demographic Future’. This is reflected in the very good attendance at this event; thirty-five participants from 11 Supreme Audit Institutions and 2 EU institutions will participate in the event.

The meeting was officially opened by the Auditor General of Malta, Mr Charles Deguara, who emphasised the complexity of the migration issues across Europe. The President of the Spanish Court of Audit, Ms Enriqueta Chicano Jávega also addressed participants highlighting the fact that the first meeting of this network was held in Madrid in October 2025.  Presently, the Corte dei Conti (Italy) and the Tribunal de Cuentas (Spain) together with the National Audit Office of Malta constitute the core group of the Contact Committee Action Migration Activity. 

Three keynote speakers and panellists from prominent institutions have shared their extensive expertise and perspectives, contributing to the discussions and moderating the two interactive workshop sessions. These workshops provided the focal point for more detailed discussion on two main themes: Promoting Effective Integration and Inclusion of Migrants and Strengthening Social Cohesion and Maximising the Socio-Economic Benefits of Migration. 

Of particular interest to participants were the six very interesting feature presentations by participating national audit institutions, showcasing relevant audits, experiences and practices from their respective countries.  Such exchange of experiences and information is extremely important within the ambit of practical internation cooperation amongst national audit institutions.

All participants were also given the opportunity to flavour some of Malta’s extremely extensive and rich historical and cultural heritage with a guided visit to the Grand Master’s Palace in Valletta during which they could admire the Flemish tapestries that have recently been restored to their former glory.
